My Tribute to Trevor Bannister (1934-2011)

[hunhun23]

I thought that he was very handsome! THank you for the tribute!

[TheGuillermo519]

Your Tribute Is The First I've Heard Of His Passing. Thanks So Much For Honoring Him. Trevor Bannister May Be Gone But Mr. Lucas Is Immortal!

[Caseysmom2]

thank you. I didn't realize that Trevor passed away! It seems like so many of them from the series passed away in close succession with another..what is that? 4 over the past 2 years? I absolutely adored this show. thanks for the upload

[JAdoreSephora]

dayum another one???? this is the 3rd one??? lawdy...the Queen is out living president's, british tv character's here...lawdy

[theonlybluecow]

I loved are you being served....but now that so many are gone, i just cant watch it anymore...

[robinbrowne123]

Hi TheLeafover, Thanks for this. I also had no idea Mr. Bannister (aka Lucas) was gone until I saw this. He was indeed a comic genius, who was always able to look shocked by his own belligerence :-)

[castlebar67]

brill tribute there may they rest in peace there all gone expect caption peacock irishman p manchester

[odowdfan]

Great tribute.

[ramiadwan]

I just learned the news some 7 months later. So sad. I truly admired him. Seeing the picture of Trevor at older age (last pic in tribute) alerted me to how I have personally grown older and how time wickedly slips away...

[er10b]

Shame about it too - I had no idea he was gone until I watched this.

The world lost a comic genius.

[TheTammy1122]

RIP

AYBS was never the same after Mr. Lucas left. Spooner was annoying.

[enterprise160]

@haantje68

I agree. Trevor Bannister was hilarious. My only regret with the show was that he and Miss Brahms never struck up a relationship. They would have been quite a couple.

[ninthhorizon]

@enterprise160 The only thing is that if they got together it would not be as funny. It would have been nice though. Shows like "served" are not made any more.

[enterprise160]

@ninthhorizon

I agree, the two characters had great chemistry as friends, who liked to occasionally take jabs at each other. It was a wonderful show. I think most of its actors are gone now.

[themaytagrepairman]

WELL DONE!!! BRAVO

[charles8869]

they live on what a wonderful body o work they left behind

they are free

[captainamerica1967us]

On our PBS station there was a special called 'Behind the Britcom: From Stage to Screen'. It was about how several BBC comedy shows were created. They inteviewed several writers, producers and stars of old British sitcoms. They interviewed Trevor, Frank Thornton and Jeremy Croft from AYBS. Only 2 days after that came the notice that he passed away. To me, there was always something sad about him. May he rest in peace in God's favor.

[Swimboy2]

I just discovered this my accident - how sad...Are You Being Served was one of the funniest shows I ever saw - maybe because it was 'British" humor. In any case we don't see comedies like this anymore...a touch risque or bawdy but good clean fun. Rest In Peace Mr. Bannister.

[soulgirl66]

@Swimboy2 Same here, I was doing a pledge shift at the local public TV station and just kind of browsing the station's monthly magazine when I saw a small article about it. I was shocked! I had no idea and I usually keep up with those kind of things.

AYBS was my first experience with Britcoms and I have loved them ever since.

RIP Trevor...you will forever be "Mr. Lucas" to me. The world just got a little less funny. :(

[Ettoredipugnar]

How sad they are all gone except for Cpt Peacock and Jug ears

[humphries71]

hello there do you realize that you have the wrong year of birth for trevor bannister he was born in 1936 not 1934

[humphries71]

i love this tribute you did for trevor bannister,its the only one ive seen.i think it is wonderfultribute to him a job well done sue michigan

[KissHope]

I loved this cast like family. Would watch every weekend on PBS and could watch endless reruns. Mr Peacock is on Summer Wine and that is another good show.

[soulslime]

I've always loved Are You Being Served? ever since I was little. That show had real magic too. I can't say who my fav. because they all are. I had always wanted to meet ether Trever, Molly or John just to say thanks so much for the laughs they brought. The whole cast got me through some very hard times. R.I.P. to Trever and the rest of our fallen cast.

[Jehlily]

Didn't I just see him in New Tricks? So many are gone but never forgotten.

[8976010]

R.I.P Trevor

[MrRobertico57]

I guess what makes it sad for us is that they really made our lives better. The music is great. There is nothing wrong with being sad for loosing them. They will always live in our memories. May they all rest in peace. Are you being served?

[firechick66]

R.I.P. Trevor ..I had no idea he passed away...wow who is left? Frank Thornton the only one left?

[Galavya41]

@firechick66 Well Frank and Mr Rumbold (Nicholas smith ) are the only ones remaining . Isn't it strange that all the floor staff of Grace Brothers went away so quickly after John Inman went ? Cant believe that Trever and Molly had went to Wendy's funeral , Molly died after four months and now just after two years Trevor left us. Lets hope that Capt.Peacock and Mr. Rumbold stay with us and enjoy good health for a long-long time.

[firechick66]

@Galavya41 --that is strange how they all passed so fast after John Inman died I agree..I agree with you I hope the 2 that are left stay with us and enjoy good health too :-)

[rfitzhen100]

RIP Trevor

[hrrogersjr]

I don't believe "dancingmusic" is called for here...but maybe something a bit less sad.

[0822340]

One of the best actors, i think he was under rated by many pepole.

[danielcrossleyfan]

my favourite actor Daniel Crossley is just like Trevor Bannister. Same facial expresions, cheeky lovable personality. I loved Trevor as Mr Lucas. So cheeky and fun to watch x

[dogeymon83]

That's a nice tribute you made, but isn't this song just a bit too dark and sad? Almost a song I would have chosen for a film about Armageddon. Heh.

[TheLeaflover]

@dogeymon83 Thank you but the song represents how sad i am that hes gone. But I am glad you enjoyed it regardless

[MarkSentMe]

@TheLeaflover It is a sad song, true, but when I think about all these folks from this show and they've mostly all have passed on, I get sad too. The lyrics from the Smiths' song "Cemetry Gates" keeps running through my head in reference to them: "So we go inside and gravely read the stones. All those people all those lives, where are they now? With loves and hates and passions just like mine, they were born and then they lived and then they died. Seems so unfair, how I want to cry..."

[daved1974]

nooooooooooo!!!!!!! it cant be i think now the only ones left is Mr. Rumbald and CPT. Peacock

[harmonygalpal9]

I loved watching him. He always made me laugh. Say hi to the Grace Bros. gang for us.

[sledgeinc2]

Young Mr. Grace would say "You've done very well !"

Thank you for the tribute.

[JazzyAngell]

Thanks for this- lovely tribute. Trevor Bannister was such an amazing actor and a lovely man, I remember writing to him when I was younger and being thrilled when he replied. He was my favourite character on AYBS, he'll be sorely missed.

[cindybin2001]

Thanks for the tribute--he was a great actor! I loved him on Are You Being Served!

[poppinsexpert]

I am a little freaked out as only last week I decided to re-watch my are you being served box set and now ive found he's died so ime a little freaked out by that. He was totally my favourite in are you being served and I always found him very interesting and inspiring to watch. He was too young to die and I still feel he had many more acting years in him. He would never of retired. R.I.P Trevor. You will be so greatly missed.

[220989NW]

Trevor bannister and John Inman were my fav too

The best double act in the show.

Here is one of I think mr Lucas best lines

Mr grainger. "lets discuss this over lunch" Mr Lucas " yes let's have a disgusting lunch"

[queenonline222222]

Rest In Peace Mr Lucas.
